Nursing professor Nicole Letourneau co-developed MOMS Link — a phone-based, peer-support network — to connect mothers wanting to combat postpartum depression.
In 2010, MOMS Link first partnered with Sykes Assistance Services to pilot the program in New Brunswick. What happened next was a mind-blower. After 12 weeks, 89 per cent of the participating moms were no longer depressed. Innovate Calgary helped Letourneau commercialize the program through a licensing agree-ment that allows Sykes to now offer the program in every province and territory across Canada.
